McDonald, who most recently served as chief operating officer following the departure of former COO and president Malcolm Knox in September 2016, will continue to oversee the company’s corporate finance and accounting functions.

Having joined the Allarco Entertainment-owned pay-TV network in 2009, McDonald has held such titles as financial consultant and executive director of finance and administration before being lifted to chief operating officer.

As COO, McDonald was responsible for leading Super Channel through a restructuring period while also “redefining the company’s strategic direction” after its parent company, Allarco Entertainment, filed for creditor protection in May 2016. After disclaiming a number of contracts, Super Channel began acquiring content late last year.

“McDonald has demonstrated tremendous leadership and unwavering commitment to the growth and success of Super Channel in his current role as COO,” said Charles R. Allard, chair of Allarco Entertainment, in a statement. “His vision, focus and financial expertise have successfully navigated the company through a restructuring process and positioned the company for continued profitable growth.”
